Black Mass organizes its first international event

Black Mass organizes its first international event

It had been in the air for a while, but a few weeks ago we got confirmation: Black Mass goes international! The Ghent-based agency is organizing a club night for the first time at Rotterdam's renowned Now&Wow club. That Black Mass would eventually head to the Netherlands had seemed obvious for some time, given the many Dutch artists it has taken under its wing in recent years.

For the upcoming event, however, keep an eye out for American Krista Bourgeois' modular live set. From Berlin, the DJ continues to win more hearts with her experimental and idiosyncratic take on industrial techno. Ours included.

With a focus on underground talent and a unique sound experience thanks to The Rave In Peace Soundsystem, Black Mass has built a strong reputation in Ghent in recent years, where another edition will take place in October. The agency has earned a respectable name not only among ravers but among artists as well:

"The idea behind Black Mass has always been to focus on artist development for emerging talent. We wanted to be more than just a booking agent; we also wanted to offer coaching and support across the board. That includes bookings and networking as well as production and DJing, but also mental and personal support. We find it important to guide our artists personally and support them throughout their development as artists."
